DISINFECTANT FOAM FOR ULTRASOUND PROBES TRISTEL ULT

case

Tristel ULT Foam is based on Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide (ClO2) chemistry, a well-documented and highly effective biocide. It is comprised of two “precursor” solutions (termed Tristel ULT Base solution and Tristel ULT Activator solution), which are packaged separately within two reservoirs and secured together within a single dispenser pump. When depressed, the pump dispenses these solutions in parallel at equal volumes, and the components of these solutions chemically react. This reaction generates ClO2, which is the active germicidal ingredient. A mesher present in the applicator pump causes the formulation to be dispensed as a ready-to-use foam. Tristel ULT Wipes are dry, non-woven, low-linting wipes specifically intended to apply Tristel ULT Foam on the surface of a medical device. Chlorine dioxide is an oxidizing biocide. It deactivates microorganisms by attacking and penetrating their cell wall, disrupting the transport of nutrients across the cell wall by inhibiting protein synthesis. As this action occurs regardless of the metabolic state of the organism, oxidizing biocides are effective against dormant organisms and spores. Tristel ULT is a high level disinfectant with a contact time of 2 minutes. Tristel ULT inactivates Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and type 181. Tristel ULT is also efficacious against Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP), Extended-Spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae, Candida albicans, Duck Hepatitis B virus (DHBV), and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
